Pretty decent, just that there was another monitor 29" with similar specs, for only £170?
GTG is 5ms on this one, so it's decent for gaming.

Pretty good monitor too! I had this one, and ended up upgrading to the 29" model only because I wanted to have the same height as my main monitor (a 24" BenQ 144hz).

I have an ultra-wide monitor and I love it BUT you will want a fairly large size so that the height isn't sacrificed versus a regular monitor. I think a 25" will be on the small side height-wise for most people...
EDIT: Will be beautiful for Blu-ray movie playback though as it fills the screen

I had this monitor. Its a good monitor but it's tiny. I ended up sending it back and getting the 29 inch model instead.

I haven't seen this monitor in person but I'd imagine the height being too short for my liking like the first 19" widescreen LCD I saw at a friend's.

Just doing the maths, it has roughly the same height as a 20" 16:9 monitor, in fact those are a little taller than this. You weren't kidding about it being tiny, which counters the 'immersive gaming' argument.

We have both the 25 and 29 in our place, they are great. I find both very usable, but the 29" does have that edge. Been some good prices on them recently.

Looking to upgrade this. Cracking wee monitor..thats the only nitpick about it...its small. Great otherwise. Looking at going for this Benq xr3501 as an upgrade.

It's gorgeous and the price is definitely great but I couldn't go back to 1080p at this point tbh.

I wish I'd bought it mate. There were a couple going during the amazon sale down from 269 to 169
Ultrawide IPS 29", good brand.
I don't think we'll be seeing deals like this til next year, but it does dampen ones opinion of the current deals, doesn't it!
